Well, since you want a little of thrill let's rule out the 100cc's.
Bro, I would suggest you to go ahead with CB twister if you want a perfect city commuter(stylish at that). It's perfomance figures are close to 125cc bikes and mileage is also good.

Or if you want some more thrill then go for the P135 or the new discover 150. P135 has very sporty looks and loads of gadgets. Whereas the D150 looks the same as its sibling but performs like P150 and being light it is pretty much easy to handle. The best part is its price-Rs.46,000(ex-showroom,Mumbai) check the below link....
YouTube - Autocar: Bajaj Discovers 150cc!

I liked it Bro.I am looking fwd on this.

1.Bajaj - Discover 150 CC(150 CC) New To Market Its good if we wait and see how it performs
2.Bajaj - Pulsar 135 CC (You people already discussed on this) Good Choice, but people used to say reliability[spares availability / cost and as u said how long its gona be in market ]
3.Hero Honda - Passion Pro(For its mileage and low maintenance)safer bet now it comes with digital speedo, but still the same old look
4.Honda - Shine(In front of my house showroom is there)
Good one no ultra stylish look but Honda quality is there and Honda engines are always goodyou don't have servicing issues as its closeby to ur home
Please guide me

my comments are in bold

As Ravi Said You can add Twister in the list for test drive its good looking and good quality, also check the 4 valvian (P135)

**ravi@17bhp** · 06-21-2010, 01:05 PM

Shine vibrates too much after 60 kmph. Other than that it is good enough for a city bike. The Twister's 110 is much better than the 125 cc engine of Shine. The pick up is on par and no vibrations even at 75 kmph. I would prefer Twister over Shine.

Go for P135 instead of Discover 150. I cannot comment on the durability of the engine and its cycle parts 2-3 years down the line.

Passion Pro, you have to buy only for reliability and mileage. Seriously lacks power.

Take test rides of all the bikes you shortlisted and take decision.

Ravi, is this true?? then why are you going gaga over Honda's reliability?? considering that yours is FI, which is costliest product sold here by Honda (i'm not considering superbikes of course), that too very few units a month.. I donno what to say..if one of those engines had to be opened within 1st year of ownership.

TS, now that you have a shortlist, just go for TD of all these bikes, that will certainly allow you to rule out more options.. coz, once you ride a bike you know whether that's the one you are looking for or not. Don't worry about spares availability for Discover/Pulsar.. as Bajaj has clearly mentioned that their strategy is based on these two brands from now on.

There is a thread regarding my Stunner's problem and you better read it.

My Stunner's case is not about reliability. Just with one Stunner, you cannot decide that every or many Stunners will be like this. My bike is running very much fine all the time. If you want any clarifications regarding this matter, you can ask me via PM. FYI, this is the first Stunner FI's engine opened anywhere. 100% accuracy will not be there anywhere. Whatever is there, they detected it and rectified.

Now I am forced to conclude that you do not have any common sense. Stunner was completely eliminated by the TS. Why are you bringing that into picture? Do not come with some preset mind. Do not every time compare P135 with Stunner even if it is not needed. Those who read will get pissed off.

Bro if I compromise with power which one would you prefer P 135,Twister or Passion.

Pulsar 135 is the best VFM buy out of the above three.

If you often ride with your mother or anybody who sits to a side, Twister will be very uncomfortable as there is no proper grab rail for them to hold at the back. Keep this in mind if you choose Twister. Other than this, there are no negatives to Twister.

Passion is just a commuter that gives good mileage. It is enough powerful only to ride in the city.

P135 is completely in different league. There have not been any problems since it is launched. This bike is performance-oriented and even beats a 150cc. This gives great mileage too, around 55 kmpl in city depending on riding style. If performance is one of your important criteria, go ahead with it. A Passion and Twister will definitely last more than 5 years. I do not have the same confidence to say P135 is durable in long-term. You can make it durable but maintenance will be high.

All BIKES are good. It's a matter of requirement.

Looking for POWER or MILEAGE or RELIABILITY or LOOKS.

Take a call after that.

For general reliability and ASS stick to HERO HONDA.

HMSI is also good but depending upon your city ASS is not extensive.

Personally I love the BAJAJ P135 looks but long run viability is a matter of concern but cannot be proved since it has not run a complete year.

I am seeing that this thread is being evolved into a battle ground

.

@ravi & vrugonnab:- Guys now stop criticising each other's bikes. We are here to clear the confusion of the Thread starter & not to increase his confusion.

**antz.bin** · 06-21-2010, 10:13 PM

My Last post in this thread:

Passion PRO# 7.8Ps 68kmpl*
CB Twister 9.0Ps 63kmpl*
Pulsar 135LS 13.5Ps 58kmpl*

* All Mileage figures are best case on road FE inside city.

# If mileage is sole requirement, try
Discover 100 7.6Ps 75kmpl*

Choose Wisely. Always Remember, Its your money we are talking about here. The only help we can offer here is to help you put things in perspective.
